Visiting the new grandbaby.

We enjoyed our stay. The deck was awesome and the views even better. Not far from town and the road wasn’t bad getting there. Loved the rocking chairs and swing on the deck. Had our meals utilizing the picnic table. The walk to the lake is a little hard for a couple of them that tried it, but we didn’t come for that. Master bedroom is very nice.

Beautiful views and sunsets!

Beautiful place with something for everyone. Great for large groups too. Close to the Casino if that is what you like. One mile from Downtown Murphy. Perfect location! Love the Pool and the Hot Tub. The covered pavilions is my favorite to avoid the sun. Deer in the yard everyday! Thanks Scott for letting us stay in your beautiful home again.

Fantastic!

Beautiful property. The pool — yes, it’s worth paying extra for the heat—really made our stay extra special. I will be planning a return trip. Scott went beyond in helping with our last minute plans due to hurricane Florence. Many thanks.

Beautiful property with spectacular views

This house is a perfect layout for privacy and great spaces for coming together. The views are amazing in a peaceful setting. We had chilly weather so couldn't use the pool but we did smores and hot dogs at the fire pit. 3 1/2 baths was a great plus. This is a VRBO rare find and GPS will take you right there. The historic downtown was just lovely as was the river walk and it was roughly 10 minutes to get there. We made great memories!

Family vacation

Our family of eight had the most wonderful week. The location can't be beat, fantastic views! Coffee in hand, we spend mornings on the deck. Long afternoons around the pool and hot tub. I feel the house is more accurately three bedroom. The fourth is a cave in the basement. The house is dated and some attention needs to be given to better cleaning. However, communication with the property manager was excellent. He always responded promptly when you needed. I would recommend this location.

Had a very relaxing week hanging by the pool enjoying the mountain view. Nice house with plenty of room and lots of windows to enjoy the scenery. My grandson loved seeing the deer that showed up every day! It's located on a dead end road, so it's very peaceful.

My whole family loves the property. It was the whole package with the gorgeous spacious cabin, secluded with amazing views, pool, hot tub & games. Plus there was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy together as well as gazebos for quiet time to ourselves. The town of Murphy was great with cute shops and convenient places for all needs.

Beautiful Home

Beautiful home. Beds and pillows comfy. Household staples like dish soap and hand soap provided. Scott checked in regulary to make sure we were comfortable. Only concern is with 7 exit doors there are no safety latches for littles that they can't reach. As a parent and grand parent it always stays in the back of your head what can happen if you were sleeping. Definitely recommend the heated pool. Also the bunk room is like a hideaway in the basement and my two teenage boys were very let down to find out they were hid away downstairs away from everyone. We didn't find that out until I received the check in instructions the day before. I would definitely book and stay again. The town of Murphy is super cute and make sure to check out Yogi's for dinner. By far one of the best places we have stayed at.

Why they chose this property

My plan was to have this be my first flip home. However, I got carried away with upgrades, fell in love with the views, and the warm feel of Murphy and it's wonderful, friendly residents. Bought my two partners out and finished the project with the quality required to eventually call it my retirement home.

What makes this property unique

Views, views, views! Also love the privacy and the pool and hottub.

The small town is so much fun (live music, etc.), don't miss a night on the town early into your trip! Have the town preacher serve you a beer and share the word at Parson's. He won't bring it up unless you do, but he has a great story and is easy to love!
